Washington Park

On the 11th of August we went to Laramie to see some friends and go to Will's 15 month check up. Joshua wanted to go to the park while we were there, he loves Washington park, so I took some pictures. After the park we went to a good friends house to visit and enjoy a wonderful meal then off to the doctors office after that. It was a short trip but I am very thankful I still live so close to Laramie so I can go up for the day if I want to.

Childrens Museum

After the Denver Zoo on the 5th, I thought I would take the kids to the Childrens Museum to play since we were already in close by. We bought a year memberships so we can go back and play more, our boys love it there. Will fell asleep in the car on the way over so he slept in the stroller for an hour of our stay there. Once he woke up I took the boys downstairs to the baby area. They have a very neat place for the babies and toddlers to play. It looks like the outdoors with fake Aspen trees and logs for them to crawl through. Joshua had fun painting, playing with bubbles, grocery shopping, and helping me build a little box for him. Joshua enjoyed the toddler area too, it was fun watching the boys play together and giggle with each other. I am looking forward to our next trip down there.

Denver zoo

On August 5th a friend of ours in Laramie invited us to go to the Denver zoo with them. They had some free passes so we drove on down to use them. We had a great time, of course the boys had a wonderful time playing. Joshua and Lucas get a long great and little Oscar is a cutie. We saw penguins, elephants, monkeys, and many other animals. Will did great in the stroller and didn't complain at all. It is so nice to live so close to Denver so we can go to the zoo, aquarium and children museum when ever we want to.

Look at the little babies!

Bounce!!

On August 4th we took the boys to bounce in Loveland, CO. When Michael was at an interview this Spring I took the boys and they had a great time so we thought we would go as a family. Joshua LOVED going down the slides and jumping around and Will had a great time going down the slides with his mommy and daddy. They even had a smaller area for the babies and toddlers to play.

Swim Date

On July 24th we went swimming with a family from the church we have been attending. They have two little boys one is three and a half and the other is only 5 days older than Will, they love playing together a lot so we have had a lot of play dates.




Will going swimming in his float on land. He doesn't care for the water much but loves playing with his float.








They have this big barrel that fills with water then when it is completely filled it dumps all the water out in a rush. It startles me almost every time.


Joshua decided it would be fun to be under it. He was a little nervous at first but loved it and did it again and again.

Pistol Pete

Two posts in one day so keep scrolling down.

Last night we braved the weather to go to the Cowgirls basketball game. It was so cold and they don't have much close parking that is free so we had to walk a little ways. One nice couple stopped and asked us if they could drop us off at the door. That was so nice. While we were in the car Joshua felt the need to introduce us. While we were all talking he said "Me Josha" he was pointing to him self. Then he pointed to me and said "Mommy". It was so cute that he felt the need to introduce us. The couple enjoyed him.

While we were at the Game Joshua had fun but he did loose interest and said he wanted to go home after only watching 6 Min's of the game. His favorite thing there was Pistol Pete, he waved at him a lot. One time Pistol Pete was was walking in the crowd so I told Joshua he should wave to him and maybe he would come over to say hi, and he did.

Pistol Pete saying hi to Joshua.


Pistol Pete is coloring with Joshua, he even signed his name.


Later Pistol Pete came over again so I put Joshua on the isle side so he could say hi one last time.

This weekend

We had such a good time in Gillette this weekend. We drove up at 4pm after Michael got off of work and arrived around 8:30pm. On Saturday afternoon we went to Michael's grandparents 40th wedding anniversary. We were able to see a lot of Michael's extended family, we had a lot of fun it was great seeing everyone again. That afternoon we ate dinner, watched a movie and played rock band with my very good friend Shannon and her husband. I also had a good time playing with their daughter Lydia, she has such a sweet personality and is a lot of fun.Thank you for the wonderful weekend Shannon.
